Not only am I now very excited about receiving my ridiculously weighty box of joy in the post next week, I have also been inspired to start playing through the excellent Dawn of War II on the PC. The new 22" monitor and GTX285 has given it a new lease of life.
dakka dakka dakka!
I have also tracked down a shop selling citadel paints and bits and pieces so I can paint my shit right up when it arrives.

So many particulars. So many questions.
Top Tip: judicious use of nail varnish remover can correct painting fuck ups.

I did the maths - it has been 20 fucking years since I last painted a miniature...
On the plus side I am generally a more patient, careful and methodical human being and can see myself actually cleaning, trimming and undercoating the fuckers before bollocksing up the paintjob.

Wow those minitures are a lot more detailed than the original ones! Must. Resist. Paying. £100 on eBay.

I always hated plastic miniatures
Lead ftw.

TBF, I was a little surprised too - they were all lead 20 years ago...
I was there for changeover. My local store sold of the old lead stock half price. I aquired a Goliath gang and a van saar gang for a song
This is the one and only time I've seen GW do any kind of bargains

So I got some brushes, a wash set and a Terminator squad to practise on before my Space Hulk arrives.
Just need to go and find somewhere that stocks all the paints I need now...
I think I have found the place - else I will have to order online for that as well.

I stopped painting miniatures when I was in my early teens.
Once again, I am proven, if not cooler, then slightly less uncool than you

What's worse is that I'm jealous. I want to paint miniatures dammit.

You know, it was the most relaxing thing I have done in ages.
No radio, no TV, just the smell of Citadel acrylic.
Best thing is that, although a far cry from the high quality paint jobs one sees from the experts, I produced with my first effort something I was very pleased with. Certainly something much better than anything I did in my teens, purely by dint of actually being more patient, methodical and appreciative of instructions and "how-to" guidelines than I was when I was younger.

Not finished - obvious touch-up's required to chest and leg area and some of the detailing, I need to finish off the face with some eyes which I keep b0rking up, and I am not quite happy with the gun, but for a first effort I am not too displeased.

Fanks!
In my painting days, I'd have been chuffed to paint any model nearly that well
Well that is what has surprised me - I have never painted anything as good as that before and the last time I tried was 20 years ago. Just being a grown-up seems to have really helped!
Why's he on a grassy base, though? Isn't this for Space Hulk?
Heh - he is one of my practice squad I bought!
I got a Terminator pack and a Genestealer pack to hone my skills on before my Space Hulk arrived. I didn't want to fuck those ones up...
...Also - my copy arrived this morning - w00t!
Awesome miniatures and super-thick cut board pieces. Really looking forward to a game, though I have few folk to play with...the wife is going to get badgered.
